It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.

My old teacher’s definition of poetry is an attempt to understand

It was difficult being a teacher and out of the closet in the ’50s. By the time I retired, the English department was proud of having a gay poet of a certain minor fame. It was a very satisfactory change!

We teachers are rather good at magic, you know.

Acknowledgements With grateful thanks to the three least-appreciated and hardest-working proselytizers of the written word: independent bookstores, librarians, and teachers.

It wasn’t until I was in college that I even realized how much I loved film and started to appreciate acting, this beautiful medium of artistic expression. All I wanted to do was go to college, and I thought I wanted to be a teacher.

I have a teacher friend who gets nervous when there’s $200 in her account. But at least she knows that in a week, she’ll get another paycheck. I have no idea.

I think there are school teachers who are on the exact same mission as me.

For centuries, we were taught that anger is bad. Our parents, teachers, priests, everyone taught us how to control and suppress our anger. But I ask: why can’t we convert our anger for the larger good of society?

Osho is one of India’s greatest mystics…. I see him as one of the world’s great teachers, thinkers, philosophers and guides of our times. I have enormous respect for his world vision and the kind of International Communities he is building. I have always felt his influence in my life.

Every person of learning is finally his own teacher.

The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job, to teach. His first school, his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him.

Christ is the most unique person of history. No man can write a history of the human race without giving first and foremost place to the penniless Teacher of Nazareth.

If i wouldn’t have done comedy, I would have been a teacher. I was really good when I took an exploratory teaching class in high school, at getting kids’ attention, and delivering lesson plans. Though my principal even told me that this was what I was meant to do. And that being a big-mouth comedian was a waste of time.

One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil.

I’m not a teacher, but an awakener.

Daily contact with some teachers is itself all-sided ethical education for the child without a spoken precept. Here, too, the real advantage of male over female teachers,especially for boys, is seen in their superior physical strength,which often, if highly estimated, gives real dignity and commands real respect, and especially in the unquestionably greater uniformity of their moods and their discipline.

Oneness with Nature is the glory of childhood; oneness with childhood is the glory of the Teacher.

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher

Coach Reid is a great teacher. He understands how people learn, understands how to get people to get the concept of what the play is and why we’re running it.

In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.

Not length but strength is desirable. A sense of need is a mighty teacher of brevity. If our prayers had less of the tail feathers of pride and more wing they would be all the better. Verbiage is to devotion as chaff to the wheat.

An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

Everyone has all different experiences in school. I just know that throughout my life, at no time did any teacher ever point to me and say, hey. He’ll go far.

Science is a cooperative enterprise spanning the generations. It’s the passing of a torch from teacher to student to teacher. A community of minds, reaching back to antiquity and forward to the stars.

I am not a teacher, but an awakener.

A good notation has a subtlety and suggestiveness which at times make it almost seem like a live teacher. … a perfect notation would be a substitute for thought.

In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of cooperation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbors. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of the peace.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well

We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.

The way you know that a culture is in trouble is that it teaches the young children how to think, and not what to think.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.

The best teacher is very interactive.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait ’til you get a boss.

Teach us to care and not to care.

Most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.

The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.

I am good. You know what, you’re a lousy kindergarten teacher. I’ve seen those finger-paintings you bring home and they suck

Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.

When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.

I can’t speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.

I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That’s truly about the game, and in some ways that’s about life too.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

I’ve never lost a game, I just ran out of time.

Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.

Learning’s a gift, even when pain is your teacher.
